Gathering of employees of the Forestry and Pasturage Organization in Tehran

A number of employees of the Forestry and Pasturage Organization gathered in front of the regime’s parliament to protest against the months-long hindrance of wages’ payments. Most of the protestors are employed on wages under the minimum legal wage.

Those gathered protested against the non-payment of their wages for several months under current difficult economic conditions.

“Although wages of the majority of those gathered is under the legally permitted fee set by the Ministry of Labor, the same under-paid employees have to wait several months before being paid,” said one of the protesters who has a BS in Agriculture. “This comes at a time when refurbishing the new office of the esteemed president of the Forestry and Pasturage Organization has cost several hundred million.”

Gathering in front of Bushehr’s Khalij-e-Fars hospital

The youngster had a car accident and was dully transferred by the people to the hospital, but the lack of specialist surgeons and the incompetence on the part of employees resulted in his death. The population considers the sad event as a result of corruption on the part of those in control of the Health Ministry.
